Very nice work. My little guy approves of it as well!

Very nice. I’ve seen some great restoration on woodies before. This engine is great!

Did you have to do the wheels?

What a great project to have been a part of. They must have great respect for your ability to work the wood. What an honor. Great job, congratulations.

Parts of the wheels had to be replaced along with the wood under carriage, dash board and seat. The only two wood parts that could be salvaged was the steering wheel and the knobs on the hose reel. I made the ladders for the engine because they were gone.

However it kinda looks more like a Model T.

I stand corrected. I could not remember if it was a Model A or T. I figured someone would correct me if I was wrong. Thank you for correcting me poopiekat.

Great restoration, it is a beauty.

Gorgeous!

Great job!!!! My first car was a Model A Ford and I think you just have to work on one to see all the wooden parts that are required.

I dont’t care if your wrong or not, about the model. That is great. I’ve never seen anything like it. I can’t even imagine someone racing to a fire in that. Looks like they had to peddal. I love it.
